Clintonville mayor resumes duties

CLINTONVILLE – Mayor Judith Magee returned to her post in the city of Clintonville this week.

Magee took a medical leave of absence in October. In a letter, she said she felt six council members regularly attacked her work and threatened her position.

Magee supported former city administrator Lisa Kotter, who resigned in September after being placed on paid leave for a misconduct investigation. When Kotter resigned, a joint statement from the city and Kotter said the decision was not due to misconduct but for "philosophical and stylistic differences."

In a statement released on Wednesday, Magee said she appreciates the hard work of city officials and the common council in her absence, and is eager to get back to work.

"I am hopeful that with the New Year approaching that we will look forward and not back as city officials," Magee said.
